[metapost] MetaPost 1.203 announcement

[Taco Hoekwater]

The MetaPost team is happy to announce a new release of MetaPost:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
MetaPost 1.203
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The standalone distribution package and a win32 binary can be downloaded
immediately from

  http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/metapost/

This release will also be available from CTAN soon, and it will be
included in the next TeXLive. The source package should compile normally
on all systems that are capable of compiling a modern web2c-based TeX
distribution.

The win32 binary is intended for texlive or a similar web2c-based
installation, this executable will *not* work for miktex.

Of course, we welcome any comments (either good or bad) that you may
have. Simply replying to this message is fine, but see the bottom of
the message for a more formal way to report bugs and feature requests.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
What is new in MetaPost version 1.203:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

* Building version 1.202 for source required X11 headers to be
  installed.

* Another infinite recursion trap added, now for erroneous vardefs
  with suffixes (reported by Nicola Vitacolonna).

* Fix infinite loop recursion on integer overflow (reported by Nicola
  Vitacolonna, fix based on a hint from Dan Luecking).

* In version 1.202, setting "job_name" from lua code caused a crash.

* The "filename" field on the lua figure object in 1.202 was just the
  extension, instead of the whole file name.
